2 guys got mad at me for literally no reason whatsoever
Question Posted Monday January 21 2019, 1:08 pm
Ok, so I’m walking out of school as I do everyday, and these 2 guys (let’s call them K and M) are in front of me. Then K turns around and starts laughing towards M asking him to turn around as well. M turns around and tells me to fuck off because I’m apparently being a weirdo. K asks me why I’m looking at M, and whether it’s because I’m attracted to him or not (I’m a heterosexual Male), I shake my head, but they still accuse me of being weird and ask me to give away even though I’m simply making my way out of school. Cunts.
How do I avoid this from happening again?

This ability will not emerge until a persons mid twenties, when choice making and judgements are finally better because the brain part responsible for the good behavior is finally done growing. I can't say why they are doing it, maybe because of something they heard that another person totally made up. I was simply socially anxious and got picked on like this just for being quiet and confused and not knowing how to respond. There is always the slight chance that people wanting to befriend someone and not knowing how to do it, will tease or make fun of the other, much like little boys who like a girl are more likely to treat her badly to give her attention, rather than treat her nicely. I know it doesn't make sense but a good majority of males are like that. If this is what they are doing with you, either they are laughing and smiling while doing this or they never smile, are serious, look mean or angry or formidable and only laugh at the end in a mean manner. The latter are just bullies and can't be reasoned with, and it is best to walk in the opposite direction as soon as possible. You can turn on your cell and start recording at least what they are saying as proof to give the school counselors regarding what they are doing if it doesn't stop. I had trouble when young starting already in grade school, with how to tell if one was teasing or trying to be mean. I took all teasing as being mean. Today as an older adult I know what the two differences look like. So Its like I automatically gauge quickly that they are friendly so I will usually repeat whatever silly nonsensical thing they said to start a conversation and add something to it. I will give an example, Lets say I sit in Starbucks next to someone and they are eating cookies. They give a mean face and say, "Don't touch those cookies, or you will lose a finger." NOw I am minding my own business, have made no move or comment towards the person and they had no reason to say such a thing, so I deduct that this sad example is their way of trying to start a short chat with the person sitting next to them. I would immediately do something like make a face and bat my eyes at them and say, "Really, not even one, especially if I bat my eyes at you?" Yeah, corny, like what they said but people usually chuckle at this point and start talking normal and having a convo, introducing themselves. Even at 60, I still meet some real weirdos out there who try to start a convo with a stranger with something odd like this. People like someone who can make them laugh. But some peoples idea of what is funny is not at all. Since I wasn't there to witness this, I can't tell you what I think, if they were simply being dick-heads, or in a bizarre way were trying to start a conversation and try to get to know you enough to see if they might like you as a friend. In HS, it's more often still simply being a dickhead rather than trying to start a conversation and possibly make a friend. If there are any people that know these guys who happen to be friendly towards you, you could ask them to see if they were just screwing around and being idiots or really meant it, or it meant nothing. They may know and that way you'd know whether there may be more of this coming and how to respond. Good luck [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
